Final honours classification

13. The final honours classification is awarded in accordance with the University Policy on: Assessment.

Additional rules

Honours Classification in BE(Hons)

14. The exception to Rule 13 is the BH011 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).

The Honours class a student receives in the BE(Hons) will be determined using their Engineering Honours – Weighted Average Mark (EH-WAM) and their mark for GENG4411/12 Engineering Research Project Parts 1 and 2.

Engineering Honours – Weighted Average Mark (EH-WAM)

The EH-WAM will be calculated using the marks achieved in the Level 3/4/5 units of a student's engineering major. All attempts will be included. The level of a unit is denoted by the first number in the unit code, e.g., GENG3xxx is a Level 3 unit. GENG3000 and GENG5010 will not be included in the calculation.

Using the Level 3/4/5 units of your engineering major: EH-WAM = SUM (unit mark x unit credit points) divided by SUM (credit points).

The EH-WAM will be calculated to 3 decimal places in line with standard UWA practice.

Note (1): The EH-WAM is different to the standard WAM recorded on a student's academic record.

Mark for GENG4411/12

The mark for GENG4411/12 will be used as a separate measure of a student's ability to undertake a substantial individual (Honours) project. The mark for GENG4411/12 (if taken) will also be included in the EH-WAM calculation.

Note (2): Students in all majors except for the Mechanical Engineering major must complete GENG4411/12 as part of their engineering major. Mechanical Engineering students can choose GENG4411/12 as part of their optional units. Mechanical Engineering students must choose GENG4411/12 as part of their option units in the major if they want to be eligible for H1 or H2A Honours.
